Fail to install gem 'mini_racer' about mini_racer HOT 19 CLOSED

This was closed here cause the issue should be reported here:

https://github.com/cowboyd/libv8/issues

Same as you do not report issues with mini racer at:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/reporting-bugs.html

or here

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk

Yes, we want the bug fixed but there is a protocol you follow in an open source ecosystem and that means you should be reporting bugs to the right place.

This speaks volumes about many things.

I am pretty offended that you are using my bug tracker here as your personal festivus.

I gave more than complete information! Let them continue to celebrate, even though a year later they will recover. I already found a solution for myself.
About the problem, I reported, and then they have to decide how their product will be - working, or written with crooked hands.

The level of education and education of people is declining and falling everywhere. That's really really sad!

So your strategy here is to call people stupid until they fix your problem?

from mini_racer.

The install failure you're experiencing is unrelated to mini_racer.

@ignisf
And what is the failure of the installation, let me ask?

In Gemfile simple wrote gem 'mini_racer', then run bundle install

Whats WRONG?!

from mini_racer.

Here is the answer:
An error occurred while installing libv8 (5.9.211.38.1), and Bundler cannot continue.

@krzysiek1507
Very clever!
This is a parts of ONE system - Everything is interconnected - error in one = error in all !

from mini_racer.

mini_racer uses libv8. If libv8 doesn't compile, you need to ask for help on its Github.

@krzysiek1507
Where I already only asked or reported. Everywhere one answer: "This is not ours! Everything is working fine for us!"
if mini_racer uses libv8, then libv8 MUST work too!!! To be able to believe that the system is fully operational.

There are plenty of clever people! Sorry, not so many really smart!

from mini_racer.

Have you seen more people with the same issue? No? So you are the first and there is a case when libv8 doesn't compile. Please provide as much as possible data to the libv8 team and be patient. It's holiday time so probably you can expect an answer in January.

@krzysiek1507
The level of education and education of people is declining and falling everywhere. That's really really sad! So we get non-functioning systems.

from mini_racer.

You don't need to use any library available for ruby. You can write everything yourself if you think that you can do it better. Being rude doesn't help you.

from mini_racer.

@krzysiek1507
I already write almost everything myself, because there is very little hope for others that everything will be done as it should, right. I also struggled with this problem only because the system itself as a whole ceased to be launched, to work correctly.
This is not rude, but sarcasm in a rigid form!

The licenses of mini_racer/libv8/rails and other libraries are pretty clear : their spirit is that they are made in a best-effort, community generosity. It does not mean that people working on these projects are tied to a professional or business rigor in any way towards their users. Generally, they will provide a lot of effort and give a lot of their time for free - which to my humble opinion is, on the contrary, a sign of a good level of education. Although we could probably solidly defend some point of views about a decline in numerous ways human beings behave nowadays, it sounds really odd to me to choose the open-source community as a general illustration for this! :)

@BenTalagan
If you can and can do - do it, do it well! And then write off on the terms of the license, simply because the brains were not enough or just fed up - rather unethical in relation to users of these systems.
Either do it if you want and you can, but do it from the heart, well, or do not do it at all in life! Everything we do must be done well, conscientiously and without excuses for a license.
Or now a license - is there a way to justify that you can not do well what you are doing?

from mini_racer.

Your logic sounds so odd : so, since mini_racer/libv8/rails are part of your projects, why not integrate them perfectly well with all your heart and passion and fix all currently open issues - is there a way to justify that you use unperfect and flawed libraries given freely by the community into your projects without fixing all the existing known problems that are part of them?

Secondly, I am not in the head of the people who wrote mini_racer, but judging by their discussions I'm more than convinced that they put quite a good amount of 'heart' in what they do. And brain. - you're not probably aware of this, but the level of knowledge and skillfulness is pretty pretty high on a project like mini_racer.

from mini_racer.

@SamSaffron
Of course not! I specifically do not want to offend anyone, only this is a general, global trend.
Moreover, the issue is closed, therefore, no one was going to fix anything. With the words: "Everything is working for us, everything is fine" just closed the issue.

from mini_racer.

@BenTalagan
Yes, I believe that the RoR is a system of many components, and that each component should work, work correctly. Otherwise, the whole system will collapse in the end.
If the user can not normally use the system "as is", if you constantly have to do some tricks, then in the end, such a user spits and says that this system is worthless, bad.
I believe that even if therubyracer is dead, it is in the interest of the community to somehow try to correct the situation, rather than brush it aside: "This is part of the system, but not our part, everything works well for us."

from mini_racer.

The issue was closed, no one thought that it was necessary to correct something. If this is not even directly related to this component, then you should try to correct the component that the non-functionality depends on.
This speaks volumes about many things.
